Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 1,7, Freie Universität Berlin (Institut für Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Sklaverei in der Frühen Neuzeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Slavery is the reverse of liberty.“ - George Ramsay Die Sklaverei besteht seit unzähligen Zeiten in verschiedensten Formen. Sie hat sich morphologisch geändert, doch ist die Unterdrückung von Menschen bis zur heutigen Zeit in vielen Formen, so auch als Sklaverei durch vertragliche Bindung, erhalten geblieben. Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert aber wurden in Großbritannien Siege gegen den Sklavenhandel und die Sklaverei durch die abolitionistische Bewegung errungen. Der Zweck dieser Hausarbeit liegt darin zu untersuchen, welchen Beitrag die Frauen zu dieser Abolition geleistet haben. Dieser Aspekt ist besonders interessant zu beleuchten, da die Frauen damals eine niedrigere Stellung in der Gesellschaft als Männer und somit historisch wenig bekannte Rollen einnahmen. Somit gilt für mich zu erforschen, welchen geschichtlichen Beitrag eine von ihnen geleistet hat. Dies werde ich anhand von Hannah More und ihrem Werk "The Sorrows of Yamba; or, The Negro Woman's Lamentation" darlegen. Dabei werde ich zuerst auf die abolitionistische Bewegung in England zu dieser Zeit eingehen, sowie auf deren Mitglieder. Ein besonderes Augenmerk werde ich dabei auf die Person Hannah More haben. Daraufhin setze ich mich in dieser Hausarbeit mit dem zu untersuchenden Text und dem dazugehörigen Zeitgeschehen am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts auseinander. Im Folgenden werde ich schließlich reflektierend auf meine Fragestellung bezüglich des Beitrags der Frauen zur Abolition, besonders der Bedeutung des gewählten Textes von Hannah More, eingehen. Mit diesen Betrachtungen werde ich diese Arbeit abschließen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hannah More was born on February 2nd, 1745 at Fishponds in the parish of Stapleton, near Bristol. She was the fourth of five daughters. The City of Bristol, at that time, was a centre for slave-trading and Hannah would, over time, become one of its staunchest critics. She was keen to learn, possessed a sharp intellect and was assiduous in studying. Hannah first wrote in 1762 with The Search after Happiness (by the mid-1780s some 10,000 copies had been sold). In 1767 Hannah became engaged to William Turner. After six years, with no wedding in sight, the engagement was broken off. Turner then bestowed upon her an annual annuity of 200. This was enough to meet her needs and set her free to pursue a literary career. Her first play, The Inflexible Captive, was staged at Bath in 1775. The famous David Garrick himself produced her next play, Percy, in 1777 as well as writing both the Prologue and Epilogue for it. It was a great success when performed at Covent Garden in December of that year. Hannah turned to religious writing with Sacred Dramas in 1782; it rapidly ran through nineteen editions. These and the poems Bas-Bleu and Florio (1786) mark her gradual transition to a more serious and considered view of life. Hannah contributed much to the newly-founded Abolition Society including, in February 1788, her publication of Slavery, a Poem recognised as one of the most important of the abolition period. Her work now became more evangelical. In the 1790s she wrote several Cheap Repository Tracts which covered moral, religious and political topics and were both for sale or distributed to literate poor people. The most famous is, perhaps, The Shepherd of Salisbury Plain, describing a family of incredible frugality and contentment. Two million copies of these were circulated, in one year. In 1789, she purchased a small house at Cowslip Green in Somerset. She was instrumental in setting up twelve schools in the area by 1800. She continued to oppose slavery throughout her life, but at the time of the Abolition Bill of 1807, her health did not permit her to take as active a role in the movement as she had done in the late 1780s, although she maintained a correspondence with Wilberforce and others. In July 1833, the Bill to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire passed in the House of Commons, followed by the House of Lords on August 1st. Hannah More died on September 7th, 1833.
